Kudos to @bartchybowski for presenting part of the work in his #PhD at the #EmergingLeaders @ResearchNetERI by @EpilepsyInst, well done!
Bart is developing machine learning pipelines to detect #seizures across datasets
CC @SulserGonzalez @MMECEdinburgh @SchoolOfEng_UoE
Now Bartlomiej Chybowski, PhD student at the @EpilepsyInst University of Edinburgh Doctoral Training Centre is presenting on
"Single machine learning classifier pipeline to detect seizures in different patient datasets”

A huge thank you to all our fire walkers who braved the hot coals for Purple Day!
It was a great afternoon, the weather even held out for us and you raised an amazing £4,285!

Whoa! Nice work
Nice tweeprint for @jamnor23's work on using machine learning to identify seizure onset zones from non-seizure data.
Exciting use of the quantitative information contained in clinically used electrical stimulation paradigms.

Thanks @ResearchNetERI DTC student Yaseen Almeerali for this article. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Will be helpful particularly in clarifying that genetic does not necessarily mean inherited
Can a single switch from “A” to “T” in a gene regulating brain function result in epilepsy? Read this article by Yaseen Almeerali that explains how random genetic alterations can give rise to devastating disorders.

Looking dapper in purple @jescrod!
In 🟣 today for #PurpleDay to raise awareness about #epilepsy
About 1 in 100 people live with epilepsy

Basic is such a misnomer. Fundamental better? Interesting article by @ResearchNetERI DTC student James Hogg. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
An interesting read on how basic sciences research is crucial to find treatments for genetic disorders such as CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD), a rare form of epilepsy.

Let your purple shine. Shout out to the Louros lab 👏🏼👏🏼
Happy #PurpleDay2024 from the Louros Lab and some of the @osterlab at @MMECEdinburgh
Very proud to work with this talented group of researchers on the molecular mechanisms of #epilepsy

Yeah @KayMather2!
We're supporting "Purple Day" 💜
Epilepsy Awareness Day 💜
@parishschool1 @TKMaxx_UK @epilepsyaction @epilepsysociety
Happy #PurpleDay2024 💜We share a link to @hollyw_1719 talk from the international @ITAKOM_CONF last year💜We hope you give it a watch to hear about Holly’s personal experience of living with epilepsy💜Maybe you’ll learn something new…#epilepsyawareness

It’s #PurpleDay2024 and I’m off to @SMQB_UoB in Birmingham to deliver a talk about #EpilepsyAwareness. What do you think - am I wearing enough purple?

It's #PurpleDay, an opportunity for the epilepsy community to teach the world about epilepsy. So what's one thing you wish more people knew about epilepsy? 💜
